			* This page still recommends the Fedora LiveUSB installation method as the PREFERRED method for Windows SOAS, despite the known problem of eventual overlay corruption. At a minimum, the Windows section should state that the Live-USB method is easiest but should be used only for temporary SOAS sticks or for evaluation purposes, and NOT for long-term sticks. See [[Sugar on a Stick]]/Windows, Live USB - "(This installation method is NOT recommended for LONG-TERM usage of Sugar on a Stick!! Catastrophic data corruption may occur when the USB stick gets full! See why.) "
